Chapter 136: Tea Life

Gao Gao hurriedly took the teacup with both hands, smelled the fragrance of tea, and his eyes lit up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info looked down again to see that the soup was red and bright, and tasted a sweet and mellow taste, with a solid and long aftertaste. couldn't help but admire: "Good thing, the black tea of Zhengshan Xiaozhong, right?" ”

Xie Xiaojun raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was really an expert, and said with a smile: "Last year, when I went to the city for a meeting on the National Day, Secretary Tan gave me a box of tea. To this day, dozens of people have drunk it, but none of them have tasted what kind of tea it is. You only tasted it and knew that it was a small leaf species, and it seems that Xie Lan really didn't say nonsense. How about this tea, can you give some advice? “

As soon as he talked about this aspect, Gao Gao immediately became interested, and his face instantly regained a confident look, and he opened his mouth and said: "The tea itself is fine, authentic and good tea." But there is a bit of a problem with the procedure and utensils you use to make tea, and it's a bit bad for the good stuff. ”

"Really?" Xie Xiaojun seemed to like this too, and he didn't care if he was off topic, so he asked eagerly: "Tell me, what are the problems?" ”

Gao Gao was more energetic now, and he pointed to the purple sand tea set on the tea tray and said: "First of all, the utensils should not use purple sand, many people have a misunderstanding, thinking that it will be better to use a purple sand pot for tea tasting, which is actually a very serious mistake." The grade of the purple sand ware itself will affect the quality of the tea, and the purple sand ware on the market is mostly inferior and shoddy, and good tea will also be spoiled by it into inferior goods. The most important thing is to drink tea with purple sand utensils, which is generally used by enthusiast-level tea customers to raise pots. ”

Xie Xiaojun asked: "I always hear what others say about raising pots, and I don't know what to do, how to raise this pot?" ”

Gao Gao said disapprenorovingly: "This is all a group of old guys who have become fine tea to make out of the people, what to say that the purple clay pot absorbs the fragrance of tea for many years, and after a long time, it is added to boiled water, and it is also the best tea." This is pure nonsense! ”

"So that's the case......" Xie Xiaojun said with some embarrassment: "I also learned from others to raise a pot, but I didn't expect it to be ......"

Gao Gao landed with a black line, and was stunned in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer. Xie Xiaojun waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, you go on." ”

Gao Gao then continued: "During the firing process of purple sand ware, there will be countless fine bubbles on the tire wall, which cannot be distinguished by the human eye, but it will absorb the aroma of tea. Therefore, if you usually use purple sand utensils for making tea, it will greatly reduce the fragrance of the tea itself. If you have brewed different kinds of tea leaves in the same set of purple sand utensils, the tea set itself will absorb the aroma and taste of different tea leaves. In this way, the tea brewed again will be mixed with the taste of other tea leaves, which is a taboo for tea tasting. People who really raise pots, a pot for decades only brew the same kind of tea, so it does have the icing on the cake, but it is far less exaggerated than people say. The real decisive factor is the quality of the tea itself, and the utensils only play an auxiliary role. If you blindly emphasize or infinitely amplify the role of tea utensils, you will never be able to comprehend the essence of the tea ceremony. ”

Xie Xiaojun was a little absorbed when he heard this, nodded approvingly and said, "It makes sense, what kind of tea set is better?" ”

Gao replied: "What I personally admire the most is the treasure left by my ancestors - ceramics. The quality of the tea can be vividly displayed, both in good and bad aspects. This kind of no-hide is actually a good thing, forcing yourself to drink only the best tea. If the tea is not right, or the tea set is wrong, it is better not to drink it than to settle. ”

"Good!" Xie Xiaojun gave a thumbs up to Gao and said, "I appreciate your point of view very much, and you can talk about the problems in my tea-making process." ”

Gao Gao pointed to the remaining tea leaves in the pot and said: "I see that you washed the tea just now, in fact, this is another misunderstanding, not all tea needs to be washed." Especially like this kind of Zhengshan small species of the best black tea, there is no need to wash, the first tea soup is not only wasteful, in my opinion, it is even more boiled crane burning qin tyranny. Uh, I'm not saying you'....."

"It's okay, you continue." Xie Xiaojun waved his hand, not wanting to interrupt the high-pitched speech.

"Many people don't know the purpose of tea washing, and later there is a popular saying that it is to wash away the residual pesticide components on the tea leaves. This is very ridiculous, the general pesticide is liquid, which means that it is soluble in water, and you can wash it off with water? The pesticides used in tea cultivation are stipulated by the state that pesticides that are insoluble in water must be used. The supervision of this top variety of tea is even more strict to the point of harshness, and the price difference between the two pesticides is very small, and tea farmers have no need to exchange pesticides privately. So this is pure nonsense.

There are very few types of tea that really need to be washed, such as oolong, Tieguanyin, black tea, Pu'er, and so on. These are tea varieties with thick rhizomes and thick branches and leaves, and in the process of brewing, there is more tea and less soup, and proper tea washing can remove the dust and some impurities in it, which will not affect the thickness of the tea soup itself. And tea varieties such as green tea, white tea, yellow tea, etc., which use young shoots as the main raw material, including black tea. Although black tea is also a fully fermented tea, the raw material is young bud tea, so not only is it not needed, but there is no process of washing tea.

The second is the water temperature, which is a node that is difficult for ordinary people to grasp. Most people see the electric kettle on the tea tray and start brewing as soon as it trips, which is not right. Different tea leaves have different water temperatures suitable for brewing, for example, the common green tea we call 'hot tea', it can be seen that its temperature requirements are not too high and very sensitive, just blanch, blanched for a long time. Tea leaves such as oolong and pu'er are different, the hotter the better. Therefore, it is common for us to drink oolong and pu'er people not only brew with boiling water, but also use boiling water to pour the pot from time to time to warm the tea set to increase the fragrance of the tea. There are also teas that are most afraid of hot water, such as yellow tea, which can only be brewed with a water temperature not higher than 70 degrees, otherwise it is a bowl of bitter water.

The most suitable temperature for this black tea is 80-90 degrees, and after the water is boiled, smoke a cigarette, and the water temperature is about 90 degrees after smoking. I just saw that you not only brew with boiling water, but also use boiling water to pour the pot halfway, which will affect the original flavor of black tea.

Other than that, there are basically no other major problems. If Secretary Xie likes the tea ceremony, he usually has to ask me if he has any questions. ”

"I've been taught, I've been taught, I really didn't expect you to be proficient in this artillery, and your attainments are so profound! Awesome, really awesome! Xie Xiaojun slapped his palms and praised sincerely, Gao Gao's mastery of the tea ceremony was far beyond his expectations. And that's just one of them, and my daughter Sheeran said that what he really did was his research on wine. A guy who doesn't drink a drop of wine is actually a master wine connoisseur, where can he be reasonable?

"Secretary Xie has won the award, and he has won the award......"

"I like to have some tea, but I also like to drink a few glasses of wine once in a while. Xie Lan probably follows me, and even likes to have a few drinks if he has nothing to do. She said what kind of wine do you compare her to a foreign wine......" Xie Xiaojun tried hard to recall the name of the wine his daughter told him, but he was really unable to remember the brand of foreign wine.

"Spring Bank 1919," said in a high-pitched voice.

"Yes, it's this 1919, it's said to be scary! But when I think about it, I don't think it's a good fit. ”

Gao Gao thought that he had made such a big detour, and finally came around here, and it seems that he can't hide if he wants to hide today.

Xie Xiaojun leaned back on the sofa, crossed his hands in front of his chest, looked at the ceiling and continued: "She is only in her twenties, and she can't afford such a thick sense of age in 1919, and her life experience must be far less rich than that of wine. Chatting with you today, I suddenly feel that she is more like a cup of black tea, and her enthusiasm for life is like fire, but people can see the bottom at a glance. ”

This sentence made Gao Gao's face redden, and his scalp began to tingle, and he didn't dare to look up at Xie Xiaojun's face.

Xie Xiaojun suddenly aggravated his tone and said: "The daughters-in-law are all other people's beauty, and the children are all well-behaved. My daughter is my Xie Xiaojun's heart and heart and the pearl in the palm of my hand, that girl is not depressed all day long, and I, who is a father, see it in my eyes and feel pain in my heart. ”

"Secretary Xie, I ......"

Xie Xiaojun raised his hand to stop Gao Gao's words, and continued: "I'm not here to blame you, let alone force you. I'm just a father who can't bear to see my daughter living in pain and can't extricate herself, and I want to help her. ”

"How can I help?" Gao Gao asked with a little weakness.

"Sheeran has told me everything about you, and the matter between you and her is her own choice, and I have no problem with that. I don't have any resentment or prejudice against you because of this, and I respect her choice. To be honest, you are a very good young man, and I personally admire you, especially because you are very principled as a party member and cadre! Abide by the bottom line, do not be greedy, not arrogant or impatient, and be honest and honest. After talking to you today, I also appreciate your attitude towards tea tasting! ”

I don't know why Xie Xiaojun came around here, and said to himself: "...... My attitude towards tea? ...... The tea is not right, or the tea set is wrong, would you rather not drink it than compromise? ”

"Yes!" Xie Xiaojun pointed to Gao Gao and said, "For the matter of you and Xie Lan, I hope you can treat it like tea." If Xie Lan's cup of black tea is not for you, I hope you will do it rather than drink it. Anyway, you've tasted it, so you definitely know if it's suitable for you. ”

Gao Gao doesn't know if Xie Xiaojun is funny, or is he joking with himself? blurted out: "No, I didn't taste ......"

"Do you mean you don't admit it, or do you want to try it again?" Xie Xiaojun asked.

Gao Gao was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he said without words: "Admit it, admit it, admit it!" Tasted, I tasted......"

"Huh?" Xie Xiaojun snorted coldly.

"I didn't mean that, I ...... Alas...... "high-pitched" snapped and slapped himself on the face, and said: "I mean I don't dare to taste it again, don't taste it, don't taste it......"

"Oh, you're saying it doesn't taste good, so don't taste it." Seeing the high-pitched and embarrassed appearance, Xie Xiaojun secretly laughed in his heart, and continued to torture the high-pitched, which should be to vent his anger to his daughter.

"No, no, no......" Gao Gao was so frightened that he said a few "no" in a row, and said with a heartbreak: "It's delicious, it's so delicious...... Hi...... Secretary Xie, you shot me ......"

Gao Zheng really didn't know how to deal with it, and when he was desperate, he suddenly saw Xie Xiaojun holding his stomach and laughing on the other side. It suddenly dawned on me, and I thought to myself that you did this on purpose! Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xie Xiaojun suddenly stand up, put away his smile, and said with a high-pitched finger.

"I'm sure Sheeran will come out one day, but you promised me not to taste it again. So be it, you go back to your office first. ”
